I'll drop myself if I have another shocker: Grothe

If your going to put Eric anywhere in the forwards, the second row would be the only place you could have him. But he is so much more valuable on the wing, running at little blokes, hitting the ball up from a kick and jumping for a bomb for a try.

And then running in when he shouldn't, not chasing a kick with urgency...

Eric dosent have bad hands, he is just terrible off the back foot. Once he eventually gets that out of his game, he will be the best winger in the comp.

Eric is what we call in rugby league circles a much maligned Veteran. it's very difficult to treat an old dog new tricks.

Eric will always be suspect with the ball in his hands.

I always makes me chuckle a little when posters are so determined to move outside backs into the backrow especially when we have an abundance of backrowers and not that many options in the backline.

This thread was coming even if we won..

Eric you said this in the April 20, 2008 edition of the Sun Herald:

"I'm going to ask the guys for another chance to play first grade, but if I ever do anything like that again I'll stand down myself"

Well mate...its time to go...

You let in 3 tries directly from your incompetence in defense. That last try I concede was unavoidable...You also threw the ball out of play twice!!! That **** is not needed!

BY A MAN OF YOUR WORD! SIGN YOURSELF UP FOR WENTWORTHVILLE!!

He doesnt even show any remorse!! Fuifui or Hayne make an error, they look so depressed!! Grothe just doesnt give a flying f**k....

I think he would prefer Wentworthville, less pressure and more time to play guitar. Unfortunately I don't think Hagan will drop him, I think it take an injury or suspension to get him out of the team.

He's not 100% in it, he loves music. It's a team sport, the team needs everybody 100% commited.
I love Eric, great guy, tries hard and has won me some dosh on 1st try scorer this year, but it's time to go mate. Be a man and fall on your sword, you said you would drop your self you have to do it now.

Thanks for the memories and the money.

He was disgusting tonight, the worst game i've ever seen him play, Para were better off with 12 men out there.

He has won me money over the past few years on the 1st try scorer as well. Unfortunately it is usually when I bet on the opposition winger he is defending against.

Best comment I've seen...from someone on the dailytelegraph website commenting on the article about the game

"when parra are defending , eric grothe should go & stand in the offensive line or at least simply walk off & sit with the cheerleaders because we'd be better off . eric you are definitely are a graduate with honours of the chris walker academy of defence keiron of nowra"

to say he should move into the forwards is a joke,you have to make at least 30 tackles there he cant make 5.
